This is a test. This is only a test...
But very cool. Shot down a missle 4800 miles away in 9 minutes. Sweet.

-
I gotta admit, that is pretty impressive, nearly 5,000 miles in nine minutes - wow!
-
Missile defense is what we need, those are some impressive test results.
-
Oh yeah like as if Terroriest are going to Launch a Nuke :rolleyes:
this System is useless against anything other than a ICBM !
what would happen if they smuggle it in to the US and blow it up while its parked i a car only Yards away From the White House !
Dman this missile "SHEILD "
this Fooking thing will be the end of My Country !
due to !
- Terroriests will now target the UK and other European Countries for alowing the missile "SHEILD " tracking stations to be built and run!
- The System ONLY protects the US !, enemy nations will target UK and Europe First.
- What Happend to the destoryed missile if its flying over one of our conutrys ! (falling fragments could cause civilian deaths !)
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
its just typical US military strategy !
FOOK the Rest of the World We are ok !
:mad:
just don\'t Expect any support from us when you want to attack IRAQ you bunch of WARMONGERS !
P.S.
if you think i am some kind of manman then think of this !
the Development of an "ANTI-Nuclear" Weapon will only Lead to a NEW ARMS RACE !
As other countries develop their own versions !
ah well i supose thats what we get when a Village idiot is Alowed to BUY his Way into the White House :rolleyes:
-
My father is heavily involved in that project. We went and watched the launch last night.
-
Yeah.. Here in Vegas I saw the rocket launched in the sky... Left a crap load of smoke in the air... Looked really cool.
-
Although it sounds good, and very impressive, I gotta agree with ooseven. We aren\'t gonna be attacked by an ICBM. No one is that crazy. With an ICBM, we would be able to tell where it came from, and retaliate with ten times more force. If we were to ever be attacked by any nuclear divice, it would be smuggled in. No one is that stupid.
Also, I agree that this could cause a whole new type of arms race. If other countries develope a similar system, do you not think that we\'d try to build a new type of nuke to get around them?

Yup its just an excusee "a Poor one in that" to Waste more of your Tax payers money on yeat another HALF@SSED proJect
Thank God i Don\'t live in the US ... i would hate to think that my tax money is being wasted by Ye olde Village Idiot in the Big White HOUSE !
-
Who knows guys. No one would have ever thought we would get hit by hijacked airplanes... These people really don\'t care how they attack us, by smuggling arms, by missles fired, they don\'t give a damn, as long as we are DEAD.

Why would it be the end of your country? Build your own damn missile shield. Why does the US have to protect the freaking world. I don\'t give a rats ass. If it keeps people in the US safer, then that is all the counts.
Obviously it won\'t protect us from terrorists, but it does drastically drop the options of countries going to war against us. We are showing that our military is determined to protect our country. If a country tries to invades the US the only way the will be able to do it is terrorist means.
-
Lol ooseven, I understand what you mean... but it\'s like saying "damn, now the US won\'t be attacked first! Now we\'ll get it instead". Doesn\'t seem fair either way does it... ;)
I think that NATO should build and share these kind of defense systems together. If one NATO country is attacked ALL the other NATO countries are affected. Who wants to loose their own allies? We should protect and help eachother against possible attackers instead.
-
But, but, but.. We aren’t in Nato.. Bah, who needs them?
I don’t think the terrorists would launch a nuke either.. Maybe a backpack nuke or something.
Btw.. I read the US was making a plan on how to launch nukes at China, Russia, Iraq, North Korea, Iran, Libya and Syria.. (if the US was to be attacked)
Yeah, good way to increase global relations, Bush..
I see another arms race comin up.
-
God, Bush, you son of a *****...
Does he seriously expect any of these other countries to nuke the US? He pours all of this taxpayer money that could be going into anything else that could be, you know, helping the country, and puts it in something that, quite frankly, we will NEVER USE.
I could go on and on about this Republican Dumb**** more, but just talking about what this guy has done with this just pisses me off even more...god.
See Yuz.

Bush owns joo!
-
I agree with Vapor Snake. Bush ownz joo! He is preparing for the inevitable future, and trying to keep us Americans as safe as possible.

how\'s this gonna be the end of your country? Last I knew, good ol\' Scotland wasn\'t mentioned in an Islamic militant tirade. Neither was Sweden, Fastson. And this "fook the rest of the world" thing... did you not get enough to drink or something? If towelheads ever start blowing up pubs in Glasgow, or whatever it is you guys in Sweden have, then you can start ranting & raving. Your country is not under attack, ours is. What do you think your own " villiage idiots" would do?
Peace

007 you need to get your own missile shield then we can play nuclear dodge ball.

Glasgow is a city in Great Britan.. Not Sweden. :)
No.. Sweden has never been mentioned by a Islamic extremist group.. (To my knowledge)
Why would we? We have never done anything to them. We dont go half way around the world and pretend we own it.

You know if something really bad were to happen to America, Europe would be f**** as well.
Why do some Europeans think, "Phewee, good thing them Yanks are taking care all the heat on that problem. At least they don\'t have anything against us."
Answer: They do.
If your not Muslim. Your a target. That simple. Here, read the Koran, put this towel on your head, grow a beard convert now, its the only way to be safe.
*last sentence was a joke*

No, Glasgow is a city in Scotland. I was trying to address the both of you in one sentence, and it didn\'t work out. (me drunk)
No, sweden doesn\'t do all of that...
In fact I don\'t think Sweden does anything. I can\'t remember the last time I picked up a product and it said "made in Sweden". (unless it was awkward pop music or unattractive, overpriced cars.)
So lay down and play dead just like you "neutral" countries always do. Oh, and feel free to criticize any country who stands up for themselves.
Fastson, 00seven, you guys are some of my faves here. So don\'t take this personally. When your country is attacked, I will stand behind you. I just don\'t think you live in fear like I do.
Cheers mates.

I don’t think the US imports much Swedish made stuff.. All the stuff we make you can make by yourselves.. So its no real point.
But.. here are some things you encounter every day that were thought up here.
Ball bearing - I bet your car has some of that :p
Zipper - Every time you dress ;)
Monkey wrench - When you want to fix something
Colour Monitor
Control System for ships
Da mouse that you use on your computer.
Tetrapak - ya know the carts that you have your milk in
I dont know the English name but we invented the machine that separates fat from milk..
That’s all I can think of right now.. (Oh there is Dynamite.. you know Alfred NOBEL dont you? And control system for lighthouses..)
Your Army uses Swedish weapons btw.. AT4 is Swedish (Bofors), Carl Gustav RPG Launcher is Swedish (Bofors).. They are developing some new stealth ship HMS Visby (Kockums), some new silent propeller for Subs (Kockums) ect.. (You used Bofors made AA guns under WW2. I know the British did)
So there is a lot of stuff that you might not know about :)
We have not had a war in over 200 years.. That Im very proud of.. Though we have one of the bloodiest war histories of any country.
If you are into history I bet you have read about Karl XII (He who spanked Russia, Denmark and Poland-Lithuania at the same time.. Three of the most powerful nations at that time. (end of 1600.. He was killed in Norway in 1718.), Gustav II Adolf (He who could have got all of Germany if he hadn’t been killed), Gustav Vasa (not a war king.. He was the one that built up the modern Sweden.. Economics.), Karl X Gustaf.. ect.
We were neutral under WW1 and WW2.
We would not have stood a chance in WW2. (There is a famous quote by the Danish prime minister.. He had just got a ultimatum from the Germans. “Surrender or we will start bombing Copenhagen..” So he said to his general “So you want to send up one plane.. two planes or all three”..) We (Sweden) had a bit stronger military but not enough to fight off the Germans for long.
I think Norway managed to fight them off for 2 months or something. France was captured in 4 weeks.
Plus I don’t think the Germans were too keen to attack us in the beginning.. They needed our steel, if they had invaded the allies would have bombed the mines.
Though now later after the war I have read that the Germans infact had a plan to invade us from Norway. Infact they started building a plan and training troops, but Hitler called it off since the Russians had major successes on the East front and the allies were planning to invade Normandy (bombing the beaches ect). (At that time our army was pretty strong. I think we had over 220 fighters, an army of 500 000 men.. and real weapons. The German general was pretty impressed by our army)
You might think we were the Germans little puppy dog. But we weren’t, they told us to not mobilize our troops.. But we did.
They had an agreement to ship troops through Sweden and into Finland.. We broke it off.
We sent troops to Finland to help them fight off the Russians.
So we weren’t as neutral as we may have looked.
Today we support the UN. We send troops into Bosnia ect.. We have troops in Afghanistan..
We are not in NATO because we are neutral, but some strong politicians want to break it off and join NATO.

Fastson-
Cheers. ;)

You know if something really bad were to happen to America, Europe would be f**** as well.
If you are talking economics.. Yes
Why do some Europeans think, "Phewee, good thing them Yanks are taking care all the heat on that problem. At least they don\'t have anything against us."
Answer: They do.
Yes.. They think of you as the devil (USA) and us the subject of the devil.
Usama said he would have revenge on Gread Britan and France.
(I read he was planning to kill the English soccer team in the World Championship in France in 1998)
They are your closest Allies.
Usama sees this war has a holy war against Muslims (them) and Christians (us).
In that we would be a target.. But right now USA, Great Britan, France ect. is higher on his list. (and what really is there to target here? We are not that religious.. Maybe the big companies such as Ericsson, ABB, Volvo ect.. if he sees them as "evil")
(He has been here once.. With his family)
We have stood on the Arabs side many times during the fighting’s in Israel-Palestine.
You might have heard about the queens speech.. Or our foreign ministers speech?

ROL J has a point
this Tech is Useless when you consider that Terrorist will use Unconventional means to attack the American mainland.
Remember all they needed for 9/11 was planning and to find people willing to die for a cause.
its higly doutful that they would ever get the cabability to launch an ICBM.

What about North Korea?
